timekeeping/vsyscall: Use __iter_div_u64_rem()

On 32-bit x86 when building with clang-9, the 'division' loop gets turned
back into an inefficient division that causes a link error:

kernel/time/vsyscall.o: In function `update_vsyscall':
vsyscall.c:(.text+0xe3): undefined reference to `__udivdi3'

Use the existing __iter_div_u64_rem() function which is used to address the
same issue in other places.

Fixes: 44f57d788e7d ("timekeeping: Provide a generic update_vsyscall() implementation")
